technophobes vrs technophiles

Technophilia. This term was coined by American sociologist and cultural critic Neil Postman. Techno = technology and philia = love, sympathy, or love of technology. Postman also defined a new human being, the technophile: "those who view technology as a lover to his beloved, seeing without blemishes and without harboring any fear the future." Regarding the behavior of technophiles psychologists say there are different degrees of Technophilia dependence according to the technophile to develop technologies and that this can become an obsession.The technophiles are all over the world and usually with much purchasing power struggle to fill their empty interiors acquired in the form of pre-different items, especially electronics. They are the ones who have made long lines and slept in tents in Colombia and countries around the world to buy the latest versions of the various products of the brilliant silver apple of Steve Jobs, or other brands in the minds of lofty humanity.We now turn to the technophobes who assume an attitude of rejection towards the latest technologies. These people have come to the place as technological illiterates who by their very condition flatly reject technological advances are not able to productively approach to these developments and in some cases fear them.In one of the books that are considered to be one of the texts for consulting than I want to delve into the fascinating world of new technologies and changes that are leading in humanity: "Internet philosophical inquiry" of the U.S. Gordon Graham, this goes further and refers to a new word to refer and not lovers of the latest technologies but technophobes. Neoludditas Graham calls them, referring to the followers of Ned Ludd in the United States in the early nineteenth century smashed machinery in factories fearful that those new gadgets endanger their jobs and their livelihoods.Tick ​​to a technophobic person has become one of the new languages ​​to attack and incidentally encourage unbridled consumerism. Following the break time ICT with all its benefits many sectors of humanity are dismissed as technophobes because their inclusion in the new digital era is not as fast as others would for economic or educational and cultural training.
